Huggies Little Swimmers Swim Nappies 7-12 kg (Pack of 12)

Product Information

Some swimming pools and swim schools insist on a disposable swim nappy being worn under a reusable one , whilst others insist on the Happy Nappy Duo or double layer nappy system, so check your local pool’s policy. Disposable swim nappies are not very effective at preventing faeces from entering the pool, especially looser stools. Pampers have a size 6+ which is new in the market, and Asda have had a size 6+ available for a while. Pampers Splashers are more expensive than other disposable swim nappies, but I found they were better at holding in leaks than other brands. For instance, it has internal leak guards and wide elasticated leg cuffs which will help keep leaks to a minimum.

Swim nappies should only be put on just before you get into the pool and should be changed as soon as possible after a faecal accident.The next step might be to use Brolly Sheets absorbent washable bed sheets or Kylie absorbent washable bed sheets.

These are readily available so easy to find if you're on holiday and have forgotten your baby's regular swimsuit. Unlike regular nappies, Huggies Little Swimmers are made with a special material that doesn't swell up when the nappy comes into contact with the water. Out of all the Nappies listed in this thread, I would recommend the Abena Abri-Form XS2, the Molicare Premium Extra Plus XS or if you are interested in pull-ups the Molicare Mobile Normal XS. Many first time users are not aware of this and are alarmed when urine leaks from the nappy on the way to the pool!

For anyone else in a similar situation: If you need greater size or absorbency then the Abena Abri Form Junior XS2 would be an excellent choice.

When compared with a Pampers Size 6 you can see how much larger the MoliCare Soft extra small is, a weight range is not quoted on the pack, but the waist size is 40cm to 60cm (16 to 24") so these are ideal to take over from Pampers Size 6. I'd assume if there was a poop encased within it you'd have to pull the elastic around babies legs and try and pull it down without spilling any of the contents which could be tricky! Swim nappies are designed to hold faeces long enough for you and your little one to leave the pool without any leakage. If you are looking for something more absorbent than the Molicare Premium EP XS would be the better choice. As mentioned earlier in the article you can use the bed wetting pants that are available in the supermarkets if your child agrees.The Asda and Pampers nappies are roughly the same size, the MoliCare is both longer and wider, meaning that it will comfortably fit a larger child. If you look carefully on the MoliCare nappy you will see there is a slightly darker rectangular area towards the middle and front of the pad.
